Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. So the Aprilininleo topic for today is interesting, and I have already seen top-notch post-writing by incredible writers, so let's dive into the topic of today as I share with you my masterpiece. Food is a source of energy for all living things, and it's not surprising that without food, then it will be impossible for living things to survive. There are different varieties of food around the world and some are special because it signifies the culture of many people. It's more of an identity and I am sure many of you have a special delicacy that shows more about your culture.
Food is an essential part of life. No one in the world will say they don't like food. It is just an act by some people who think not being a foodie is a huge achievement. I am a foodie and I love eating different types of food I come across as long as it are compatible with my stomach and most importantly if it tastes good then I have no problem with the food.
My family doesn't go out to eat, we mostly get the items we want to eat from the market and prepare the meal at home, so going out to eat as a family hasn't happened for as long as I can remember. At home, my family knows I don't joke with food at all, and I hate seeing food being wasted, especially if it is beans, one of my favourite meals to eat. As a matter of fact, I had it for lunch today.
There is no special recipe at home that I know of and although I have not asked my mum if there is any special family tradition on how a specific meal should be cooked because it has not occurred to me that my mom would have some time like that kept in a safe place. My mom is a great cook, and I learnt everything I know about cooking for her at an early age.
Two of my favourite dishes prepared by my mom would have to be cabbage stew and afang soup. When it comes to these two meals, there is no one I have seen so far who cooks it better than her, to be honest. I have eaten different types of Afang soup, even made by Calabar people who own the food, but none match the taste of my mum's Afang soup. If you are reading this, you will think I am exaggerating, but I am telling you a pure fact.
There are other dishes I know my mum is not good at and that has to be okro soup and I most times don't eat it when she cooks to the extent she just makes a little for herself whenever she wants to eat that particular food. There is something special when sharing food with people, it brings peace and binds people together no matter their cultural differences or religion, there will always be a sense of communion between people and that is why there is always food made in abundance for celebrations to bring people together.
So, guys, that will be all for now. If you want to participate in the prompt for today, here is a link to the thread for today's topic. Thanks for stopping, and have a good day.
